Quality in Flowering, 3000k or 3500k?

I’m building a light using Samsung f Series strips and was wondering if anyone could tell me what spectrum was best to produce higher quality, 3000k or 3500k?

thats a vague question

certain wavelength ranges of uv and blue can stress a plant to create more resin but need to be applied sparingly

I use a mix. I run (10) of the 560mm Samsung F series gen 3s in 3000k single row and (5) 24v 2700k 50w Samsung Lm561c leds, 96 diodes per strip. Sunboards strips. And then (4) 22" long 132 diode custom made strips. Alternating between 660nm HE photo red, and 677nm far red diodes. And they flower flawlessly. Super dense. Great penetration. mir_20180329_063029.jpg
 
This is awesome man.
I’m literally pretty much trying to put together the same thing. For right now what I have figured out is 25 of the 2 foot Samsung F Series strips running in parallel on a Hlg-480-24v driver
I’m trying to do the math now I’m figuring out how to make my own strips and add red and far red

How much did that set you back? Nevermind, I looked it up... A pretty penny... I wonder how many I could fit in a 4x2, what would be the proper way to space them, all that good shit???

Do they come in strips like that, or do you have to put them together?
